Characteristics of Air Pollutants Emission from Medium-duty Trucks Equipped EGR and SCR in Korea

Abstract

NOx and PM are important air pollutants as vehicle management policy aspect. Medium-duty truck is the main source of the pollutants although the vehicle market share is only 3.5%. National emission portion of NOx and PM form the mobile sourece are 14% and 16% respectively. In this study it was investigated that characteristics of air pollutants emission on medium duty truck equipped with EGR and SCR system. Vehicle's test reflected driving cycle on the chassis dynamometer, and applied test cycle was WHVC(World Harmonized Vehicle Cycle) mode. The test cycle include three segments, represent urban, rural and motorway driving. Based on the test results NOx, PM, HC were less emitted form SCR vehicle than EGR vehicle. And CO was less emitted form EGR vehicle than SCR vehicle due to CO oxidation reaction on DPF surface. And most air pollutants reduced as average vehicle speed increased. Pollutants were less emitted on motorway section than urban and rural sections. But highly NOx emission on motorway section was verified according to increased EGR ratio on fast vehicle speed. HC and CO additional emission was identified as 68%, 58% respectively during SCR vehicle`s cold engine start emission test. NOx additional emission was detected by 24% on SCR vehicle`s condition of engine cold start while not detected on vehicle equipped with EGR. SCR vehicle`s additional NOx emission was derived from low reaction temperature during engine cold start condition. medium-duty truck emission characteristics were investigated in this study and expected to used to improve air pollutants management policy of medium-duty truck equipped with SCR & EGR.

Exhaust Gas Emission Improvements of Water/Bunker C Oil-Emulsified Fuel Applied to Marine Boiler

“…(5) The exhaust gas temperature exhibited a decreasing tendency by approximately 14.3% when the water content was 25%, which was the maximum condition of this study. (6) The combustion efficiency exhibited a decreasing tendency by approximately 2.6% when the water content was 25%, which was the maximum condition of this study.…”

“…To satisfy these emission regulations, after installing separate exhaust gas reduction devices in existing combustion systems, the fuel is pretreated by applying alternative energy sources. Regarding representative post-treatment systems, exhaust gas recirculation, selective catalytic reduction, and diesel particulate filter methods are the most widely utilized exhaust gas reduction approaches [6].…”

“…Eng. 2021, 9, x FOR PEER REVIEW 2 of 11 selective catalytic reduction, and diesel particulate filter methods are the most widely utilized exhaust gas reduction approaches [6]. Despite the continuous efforts required for the retrofitting of flue-gas treatment plants, research is trying to offer increasingly efficient solutions that are adaptable to stringent IMO requests and at the same time less and less impactful from the point of view of costs and space required for shipboard installations [7][8][9].…”
